My friend this literally JUST happened to me the other day. Turned into my driveway and the worst metal screeching started from the front left wheel. Did some inspection and full left and right turns and it somehow stopped. I think it was a rock as well. Took it on a hard test drive, doing some slalom and heavy braking maneuvers and all seems well. No problem since. My heart almost stopped that day! Glad your car is ok!

Yea I found a couple youtube videos of rocks being caught in breaks and it's that exact noise I heard. It was DAMN loud. I pulled over immediately once I realized it was my car so the groove it made in the pad wasn't bad at all. I'm sure it would have been much deeper had I kept driving

Yeah luckily it started when I was about to turn in my driveway. No damage here. Worst sound ever. I felt sick to my stomach when I heard it. Felt better when I turned the car off and it discovered the sound only came from one wheel only when it rolled. Glad you got it sorted out.

For a tow story, the OP has, one of the best endings ever.

Justice97 · 11-03-2013, 11:30 AM

Yeah.

Hear horrible sound from rear end?
Pull over have car towed for oil change.

Problem gone.

I say win.!!!!!

I had a rock stuck between my brake caliper twice. That screeching sound was loud and horrifying. I drove forward and reverse a few times in a parking lot and eventually the rock came out. Good to hear that your problem is fixed, though.

What about your time at $100/h?
